I had a power failure and my 80gb G2 drive is now suffering the 8mb bug. Serial is BAD_CTX 0502BB081. Is this a different case than the famous ...13x one?

Can anyone (preferably intel) confirm that data is absolutely 100% lost? It seems quite strange that the NAND chips can loose all data just like that, but that the drive can be used again after a secure erase...

Then there are dozens of companies online that claim they can restore the data from SSD's suffering power failure. It's very pricy though. Did anyone who had this bug try it ?

2. After restarting the notebook i got the following message in the startup "REBOOT AND SELECT PROPER BOOT DEVICE". My windows wouldn't even start.

3. I connect my SSD into another computer as secondary drive and boot to the windows. Check in the disk management, i found my harddrive is only 8 MB. Many of the forum called this "8 MB BUG". Note : my SSD harddrive is not shown in my computer.
